Rockstar's PS3 Exclusive Agent Coming in 2010

Rockstar Games may have let the cat out of the bag saying Agent will arrive sometime next year.

In a Q&A session found over on the official Rockstar Games news wire, it looks like the publisher has accidentally confirmed that its upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive -- Agent -- will hit the streets next year in 2010.

The information came in response to a question which seems to be angry about the fact that the Grand Theft Auto series was originally launched on the PlayStation One, and yet it's the Xbox 360 that's getting the new downloadable GTA4 content.

We appreciate the enthusiasm of PlayStation 3 owners and believe us, we understand where you're coming from. That's why we are working hard on a lineup of PlayStation 3 releases for 2010 that we know you will be very excited to play - including Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, and the PlayStation 3 exclusive AGENT, which is a brand-new title from Rockstar North, the creators of the Grand Theft Auto series. Plus there's more yet to be announced... Thanks again for your patience and please stay with us!

While this could have been a mistake, we're going to take it that PlayStation 3 owners will be able to get their hands on Agent next year. In the meantime, let's hope for some actual details about the game before 2009 fizzles into nothingness.

Hi, 2010.

Bryn says: Rockstar's notoriously tight-lipped about its future projects so this is a little ray of light for PS3 owners. It wasn't a stretch to imagine a 2010 timeframe in the first place, but let's take what we can get.

About the GTA4 DLC issue -- it's a shame that PlayStation 3 (and PC) owners got left out in the cold for sure, but I'm sure it'll wind up arriving sooner or later. Damn those exclusivity agreements...
